Merchant's description
With a particular exciting aroma, almost akin to tangerine peel and strawberries, this is a particularly alluring , light red. These aromas follow very neatly onto the gentle palate, brimming with flavour and joy. There's a tiny little bit of grip to the texture and finish from a very neat and feathery tannin structure with lovely length tinged with red fruits and something floral.
